Ok - today was just too crazy to not detail the craziness. Sorry about the length! The Comfort Inn said "we could" have room service for breakfast (aka, there's no where to eat, please eat in the room :)). We had pancakes (aka crepes) for breakfast. They were pretty good. The "suite" we were staying in was booked tonight, so we had to leave. We were happy to leave, the room was a bit grotty. Despite A/C included, there was no air. I went downstairs to ask about the A/C, as I couldn't find anywhere to turn it on. The front desk lady said, "oh, all rooms in the hotel but 2 have AC. Yours is one of them". She didn't feel bad, apologize, or anything. It was very annoying - it seems to be consistent here, that they're not biggest concern is how much money they can get from you rather than the service they can provide. |

Today, our only goal was to get from Veliko Tarnovo to Bucharest, Romania. It's not actually that far in miles between the cities, but the transportation in both of these countries happens to be very, very slow. We had breakfast at our hotel and packed up. The train was scheduled to leave at 10:43am, and we had already walked by the train station yesterday and knew where it was. It was a good thing, because before we knew it, it was 10:20 and we were just leaving the hotel. We had to walk as fast as possible, carrying all of our stuff to make it there in time. Lucky for us, the walk was straight forward, because one wrong turn and we would get there too late. |

The Veliko Tarnovo atmosphere contributed to our leisurely wake up this morning. We looked outside - beautiful blue skies. After an omelette for me, and a brushetta-like concoction made by Jaimie with the assortment provided, we began our 5km walk to Arbanasi, a small town overlooking the valley and Veliko Tarnovo. We had seen on the town map and the guidebook, that we could get to Arbanasi by going north out of town. However, as we headed in that direction, I deciphered a sign that said Arbanasi in Cyrillic, pointing in the other direction. Well, we decided to follow the signs, but after about 1/3 of a mile, we realized this was the route for cars and might be a bit longer than we wanted to walk. |
